Question

gametes (eggs and sperm) are produced through a process that divides one parent cell into four sex cells with half the number of chromosomes. gametes combine during to form a zygote. the zygote then grows and develops through the process by which a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell

Explanation:

• Meiosis is the process that divides one parent cell into four sex cells (gametes) with half the number of chromosomes.
• Fertilization is when gametes (egg and sperm) combine to form a zygote.
• Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
